Protection of Personal Data and Images of Children

      ÇOHAM considers respect for children's privacy, personal data, and confidentiality as one of the fundamental elements of child safety.
      In research, education, project, and community contribution activities carried out within the center, care is taken to protect the personal data of children.
      Personal Data Protection: 
      The processing of children's personal data is based on the provisions of Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data and other relevant legislation.
      The collection of personal information not necessary for the purpose of the activity is avoided. The information obtained is processed only for defined, explicit, and legitimate purposes, in a lawful manner. 
      Use of Photographs and Videos:
      The notification, legal basis, and permission processes required by relevant legislation are observed when taking and publishing photographs, videos, or audio recordings of children.
      Emphasis is placed on obtaining the opinions of children in accordance with their age and developmental characteristics. Publication of images that may negatively affect the child's safety, privacy, or best interests is avoided.
      Research and Education Activities:
      In research involving children, relevant ethics committee processes and research ethics principles are taken into account.
      Access to, storage, sharing, and, if necessary, destruction of personal data obtained are carried out in accordance with relevant legislation and the university's data protection regulations.
      Digital Security:
      The principle is to securely protect information and documents related to children in digital environments, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure that data can only be used by authorized individuals.
      ÇOHAM adopts a rights-based and protective approach in the preparation and publication of digital content related to children.
